The sudden change of circumstances
It was a normal Monday morning. Well, halfway normal...While "normal children" were probably on their way to school, you were at home as usual and just sleeping in your bed.You had already finished school and graduated.
Even though your parents tried to persuade you to start a normal job, you refused.They saw you as too young to fight. But you had a different opinion.
Many would say you were lazy, but you used your sleep to gain energy for the day, which would be hard as always.
Since you finished school half a year ago, you had much more time for your training because you didn't have to study any more, and so your complete attention was on your training.You sometimes train for 10 hours a day. Your parents had given up trying to talk you out of it.
They thought you were training too hard, but you ignored them.You wanted to be prepared in case of an attack. You had said that many times before, but your parents also thought that it wasn't realistic because the Avengers had everything under control and would prevent such incidents.
Speaking of avengers, you have tried to get into the strong tower several times lately, or at least to wait nearby for an avenger to come out so you could talk to him because the security wouldn't let you in, but until now it was all in vain.You had even tried to climb the tower somehow; because you had also taught yourself courses and were a good climber, you thought you might be able to get to the top and knock on the window to get their attention.But you found out that the facade was too slippery, and it was impossible for you to climb up there.
Besides, there were many cameras all around, and the risk of being spotted was too great.Well, being spotted might bring attention, but probably only from security, since the Avengers were probably too busy and you didn't want to risk being locked up, so you let it go for the time being and stayed away from the tower until you thought of a possibility.
So you got up as usual after getting enough sleep, and you were full of energy for the day.You didn't have to worry about the rent; you were still living with your parents, and they had a good job, so it was no problem for them that you were here.
They were relatively happy that you were still there because they knew where you were and were less afraid of you. And they loved you very much and wanted to do everything they could not to lose you.
So you went into the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed, and got ready.Then you went down to the kitchen and made yourself breakfast (what you normally eat and drink).
You haven't had sore muscles from training in a long time. Your body had gotten used to the hard training you were doing.You were lucky enough to have two garages. One was for the cars, and the other had previously been a storage room for old things
but since your training, your parents had agreed that you could store weapons there and that this would become your training room.In addition, you also had your own room, which you used to study in sometimes (there was a desk).
You also had your single bed, your wardrobe with clothes, and a small bedside table.On the nightstand, you had a pistol, and under your pillow, even a small knife. safe is safe. Depending on when there was an attack, you had to be prepared for anything.You also had a flat-screen TV on the wall opposite your bed. Your uncle had given it to you. As always, when it came to expensive things...
In your training room, aka the garage, on the other hand, you had installed a security system (like a kind of bunker) with the help of your uncle (or whoever else), so that no one could go in without being told.It was pretty new and high-tech, but you just didn't question how Tony knew that again. You were just grateful that he was helping you.In your training room, you also had a bunch of targets, daggers, and some weapons and weights to train with, as well as a punching bag just in case. You can guess where all the money for that came from.
You had asked Tony many times if you should pay him back somehow or if you should do a job, but he denied it every time and told you to accept it as a gift, for which you were very grateful in the end.
While you were still eating, your parents were already at work, as usual. They both worked for a company. If you were lucky, they would be back in the evening.Sometimes they had night shifts or just slept at the company because they were exhausted or it was too stressful for them to go home again, only to sleep right away or something.The company provided private rooms (like apartments) with all the trimmings.This meant that you were sometimes alone for a few days. but you didn't mind.
Yes, sometimes you missed them, but you tried to pass the time by working out or doing the housework.Sometimes you even went to your uncle's house. But he wasn't there most of the time, whether for business or otherwise.But you had a spare key, and he allowed you to go into the house as often as you wanted.
Everything there was quite modern and newly furnished, and sometimes, when you were tired of seeing the same walls all the time, you went there.He even had a separate training room, especially for you and partly for himself but it was much bigger than yours, which was also a reason for you to go there.When he was there, he often gave you tips during training, or you just talked a bit.But he didn't tell you much about the business, which you found a pity because it interested you, he only said that it was exhausting and so on.
When you were done with breakfast, you decided to work out a bit, as usual.So you went back to the training room until noon (this time at your place because you didn't feel like going over to your uncle's place, who probably wasn't there again anyway), and trained until noon.
Around noon, you got hungry, so you went to the kitchen and made yourself lunch.Meanwhile, you turned on music on your phone because it was too quiet for you.When you had just finished lunch, you suddenly heard a loud bang from outside. The bang was so loud that it even drowned out the music in your headphones.
"What the hell was that?" you thought and ran to the window. On the way, you heard more gunshots and a line of people.
"Omg, no!" That was the only thing you could say.
You stood stunned at the window and couldn't believe your eyes.Everywhere outside, you saw people either running around in panic or dead bodies lying on the street surrounded by blood.It took you a moment to realize that there were creatures with guns running around outside, shooting at the population.In the air, you could even see some flying ships, and then you saw it.
The place where it all came fromOn the horizon, you could see a huge ship with hundreds of other ships coming out of it and some creatures jumping out of them like parachute jumpers and other creatures flying inside the ships.
You didn't know who or what these things were, but what you did know was that they were definitely dangerous and seemed to be attacking the city.
"Wasn't that what you always wanted?" you thought to yourself, but just now you were in shock
.You had never experienced an attack before, let alone such a big one.Of course you wanted to help, but you'd only get yourself killed, wouldn't you?"Y/N! "Stop thinking like that!" you said to yourself.
At that moment, you realized that you had better act now if you wanted to save anyone.
So you ran to your weapons, grabbed a belt in which you put two daggers and a pistol, put on your combat uniform, which you had simply "borrowed" from Tony for such cases (Edu once saw it lying around in his storeroom and simply took it with him), and took your katana in your hand.Then you made yourself go in spite of fear on the way out.
"Come on, Y/N, you can do it!" "This is the moment you've always been waiting for!" you said to yourself as you walked outside.
Once there, you heard the gunfire and gunshots even louder.Without thinking about what to do now, you followed the first thought that came to your mind: help others.So you ran towards the first creature you saw and stabbed it with the katana.
You only had to give it a skillful blow in the neck, and it fell to the ground.So you continued stabbing the next creature again and again.Some tried to shoot at you, but without success.
What you noticed after a few times of killing was that the creatures were not bleeding; instead, they were spraying some purple liquid, which then turned to dust.But when you were fighting like that, you remembered: The company!
"Mom and dad!" you said. More to yourself than to anyone else.
With these thoughts, you ran to the nearest car. Luckily, it only had a few bullet holes and some blood on the paint.You smashed the window and short-circuited it with the help of the cables.You didn't have a driver's license yet, but no matter; you were sometimes allowed to drive your uncle's car, and it wasn't that difficult.So you hit the gas and drove off. On your ride to the company, you tried to drive over as many creatures as possible, to somehow hold them off.What you also did quite well.
You even thought you saw an Avengers fight for a brief moment, but you didn't have time for that now.When you arrived at the company after what felt like an eternity, you saw some security people fighting in front of it, and from inside, you saw debris that seemed to be coming from the reception counter.
You immediately stopped, got out, and ran to the building as fast as you could.Once inside, you saw who was behind the counter. It was your parents who were shooting.
"Mom?! Dad?!" You shouted and ran towards them.
"Are you ok?" you asked.
"Yeah, we're fine." "How did you get here?" "Get out of here, we'll take care of this," they said.
"Never; I won't leave you alone." "We can do this together," you said.
At that moment, you saw that both of them had a few gunshot wounds.
"Please, you have to leave here; you are hurt," you said desperately.
"No, darling, we're fine; we can do it," your father replied.
With these words, both of them shot again and drew their attention to the creatures outside.But after some time the ammunition was running out and the creatures became more numerous until they could finally get in.At that moment, you grabbed your katana again and ran into the crowd.You stabbed the creatures and tried to stay away from your family.
But after a while, you hurt yourself but you didn't want to give up.You couldn't lose your family now. Not now, and not like that. Not under these circumstances. Absolutely not!You just wanted to make it—no, you had to make it.
But when the security people were overrun, you saw that it was probably going to be the end soon.No! that shouldn't be. Not like that!
You kept fighting with your thoughts until a bullet hit you in the back.This made you fall to the ground. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see the creatures running towards your parents and shooting at them.
"no no noooo!" You tried to get up again, but you were too weak.In that moment, you felt helpless. You thought this would be the end.But just before your vision got blurry, you could hear a familiar voice. but you couldn't assign them.Shortly thereafter, you saw a blurred figure in a suit come out of your sight and grab you.
Shortly thereafter, you lost consciousness.
